I was apartment hunting almost 2 years ago and stopped in to see what they had to offer. I was shown an apartment wiht bowling ball size holes in the drywall, a stove missing 2 burners, no carpeting but many stains of a nasty nature on the wood floors visible. Roofing shingles on the deck as the roof was falling apart. Oh the Deck seemed so shaky that it was unfit for anyone to go onto it.



The door to the building didnt have any security on it so any bum could just hang out (and seemed like they were based on the gang and tag symbols scribbled around the "lobby")



The management made it seem like these were great apartments for the cost and I was floored. I moved out to Madison from Waukesha where I had a fairly cheap 500$ a month apartment (1bdroom 750 sqft) that was in an older building and not that nice. BUT they had management that cared and kept the place clean. So when I come out to Fitchburg and see a building that looks like it should be condemed and not lived in going for 600 - 700$ a month I was in shock.



I found a better apartment down the road from there, and really after seeing all this noise in the news now about how bad it is, I feel very happy for the people who have gripes getting some public exposure.



But I would highly recomend moving out, there are many better placed for a little more money in the same area. Because I think everyone knows that the slum lords that run that joint are going to go back to their same ways the instant the public pressure is off them.



Any place that makes me want to take a shower just after visiting an apartment is no place civilized people should be living.
